Steve Callihan's Writing Page

I've gathered together here links to some of my creative writing pieces, including online examples of my poems and prose pieces, as well as a list of resources helpful to writers.

Poetry

Here is a sampler of some of my poetry:

Jewels of the Heart: A collection of love poems.
Poems Against Poetry: Satirical anti-poems, from the late 70s.
When I Grow Old: A poem I wrote when I was only 19.
Out: Something from the late 70s.

Prose Pieces

Here is a sampler of some of my prose pieces:

The Over-Inflated R - This goes back quite a ways, back to glory days up on Capitol Hill here in Seattle in the 1970's. The "friend" in this piece, by the way, is Jesse Bernstein.
Return of the Blue Nudes - This is a previously unpublished review I wrote of Mike Bidlo's re-creation of Yves Klein's 1960 performance work, "Anthropometry of the Blue Period," that was performed at Seattle's Center of Contempory Art (COCA) in the fall of 1989.
Fragments - These are some of my aphoristic writings.
